AI Venture Job Board
Rebuilt and automated a community job board—now brand-aligned, self-updating, and AI-enhanced
BabyVC's job board had gone inactive because every post needed manual removal, Slack posting and updates. As Head of Tech I rebuilt it on Airtable with automated confirmations, expiry, Slack sync and reminders, an AI summariser for job PDFs and URLs, and self-service editing: 570+ posts from 310+ venture companies, and every new submission is checked by AI before it goes live.

The context
The original job board had been inactive for months due to:
Manual overload
Each job had to be manually removed after expiry, posted to Slack, and updated by the team.
No ownership
Without automation or self-service, maintaining the board required constant admin attention.
Lack of branding alignment
The previous interface didn’t reflect the community’s identity or professionalism.
How I built it
I redesigned and automated the job board around three key improvements:
Automation-first backend
Built on Airtable with workflows that send confirmation email, auto-hide outdated posts, sync new ones to Slack, and send reminders—all with no manual steps.
AI-enhanced experience
A custom AI summarizer extracts key highlights from PDFs and job URLs, giving candidates a quick, digestible overview directly on the board.
AI job validation
Every new submission is read by AI, which checks the posting is real and complete, then verifies it or flags it for a human review.
Self-service tools
Posters can update their jobs via custom edit links, and admins approve new listings in one click from Slack.
Brand-aligned frontend
Migrated the interface to Softr and Fillout for a polished, on-brand experience that feels native to BabyVC.
